LIFE’S FLAVORS 1/12- ALLISON LIBBY-THESING OF THE OAKS BED & BREAKFAST
Herb Infused Cocktail ~ Pomegranate Champagne Spritzers
To help ring in the New Year, we decided to select a cocktail that would have a few bubbles, since the New Year brings out all the sparkles and joy of making it around the sun one more time. This drink is so simple to make and can be done in a big batch if you choose.
The flexibility of the sparkles makes this drink an easy one to fix directly to your taste buds. We had a lovely sparkling wine to mix with ours, since I’m not the biggest fan of champagne. I know, I’m sure I’m one of a few people who don’t like champagne.
Based on what you select for your sparkling drink will determine how sweet your drink is. The sweeter your wine or champagne the sweeter your drink. The more dry your wine or champagne the drier your drink will be. You get the idea.
Tailor this drink to your taste, that way you can get exactly what you want to drink to celebrate your next big event. Since Pom is pretty much found year round now, you can enjoy this drink at any point in the year. Here is how to make it.
Pomegranate Champagne Spritzer
- 1 oz. Fresh squeezed Orange Juice
- 2 oz. Pomegranate juice
- 6 oz of Champagne or wine of choice
Pour everything into a high ball glass that is filled with ice. Garnish with a fresh slice of orange, rosemary and mint. You could go a little crazy and add some pomegranate to your glass as well. Enjoy!
It’s that simple, the most amount of time spent is squeezing the orange juice from the fresh orange. One medium sized orange should yield enough juice for a single serving of this cocktail. Be sure to ask about our cocktail of the month on your next stay at The Oaks bed and breakfast, they will soon be the featured drink of the month.
Until then please drink responsibly and always have a designated driver. Cheers from the Oaks bed and breakfast.
